Abstract

Fin-de-siècle Central European scholarship takes on a different
complexion, if it is approached from the perspective of politically
responsible action. The article analyses neither scholarship involved
into party politics nor apolitical scientific and scholarly activities
but focuses on a specific approach: The scholars I am concerned with in
this article strove for the strict division of science and politics;
they nevertheless remained committed to political objectives such as
improving social conditions. The approaches of Bernard Bolzano, Ernst
Mach, Alois Riegl, Sigmund Freud, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Otto Neurath,
Hans Kelsen are taken into account.

Abstract

In this study we investigate why bequests are left using a life course
approach. Planned post mortem wealth transfers to children are linked
with inter vivos transfers and inheritances left by the parents of the
plan-makers. Individual decisions concerning wealth accumulation and
bequeathing can be understood better if adjacent generations are taken
into account. Moreover, particular events from an individual life
history (widowhood, divorce, disease, and others) affect bequest
decisions. A life course perspective proved fruitful in better
understanding bequest behavior.

Abstract

Philip Sabin points out that modern wargames not only contain
substantial amounts of historical information but also arrange it into
interactive models which depict historical processes in a simplified
manner. Such models can be used in historical research as well,
complementing the discourse through more holistic and mathematically
strict accounts, and providing tools that impose some discipline on
counter- factual speculation.

Abstract

This article focuses on the question of the relation between the subject
of The Modern World-System by Immanuel Wallerstein and the theoretical
object of worldsystem analysis as a multidisciplinary approach that he
proposed for history and the social sciences. The importance of this
approach as well as its theoretical deficiencies are shown by examining
two unanswered critiques of the first volume of The Modern World-System
— one coming from Robert Brenner and the second from Fernand Braudel.

Abstract

This article deals with the problem of the knowledge’s utility. This
issue is considered from three perspectives. The dualistic perspective
is based on the two-component structure: knowledge–reality; the
subject–the object. In this regard, the knowledge’s utility is measured
by the measure of the power that can be obtained over the world. From
the monistic perspective knowledge is useful if it allows the internal
improvement of the bearer of the knowledge. Knowledge in terms of the
emergent system arises in the fluid cognitive relationship between
components of changing system. Relations between the system (whole) and
units (part of ) are variable and undetermined by the specificity of the
individual components which are also reciprocal and mutually forming.
